Frequently Asked

About the journal.

How often we publish home remodeling tips, who writes, and how to use what you read here.

Don't see your question?

Give us a call. We would rather answer it directly.

We publish two to four pieces per month, usually on Wednesdays. Each one is written by someone who has stood on the job site, not a marketing agency. New 2026 articles cover the code changes, cost shifts, and design trends we are seeing this year.

Every cost figure comes from real Portland projects we have completed or quoted in the last 12 months. We round to ranges instead of single numbers because every home has its own surprises, but the ranges are honest. CCB #181942.

Yes, with detail. Portland’s ADU code shifted at the start of 2026 in three meaningful ways, and we publish full breakdowns of setbacks, sewer connections, and fee schedules. We also cover historic district overlays, lot coverage rules, and the city’s current review timelines.

Tyrone Woodland (founder), Anna Woodland (president of design), and Tyrell Woodland (senior PM) write most of the long-form articles. Process and timeline pieces come from our project managers. Nothing is ghost-written or AI-generated.

Blog posts give you the framework. A real estimate requires us to see your home, hear your scope, and walk through your selections. That conversation is free and produces an itemized quote within one business day. Call (503) 912-2000.

Most articles are Portland-specific because that is where every project we run is built. Code, climate, lot constraints, and labor rates all behave differently in the Portland metro than they do in Bend or Seattle. If you are outside our service area, the structural advice still translates.

We do not currently run a newsletter. New 2026 articles go up on this page first and get shared via Google Business Profile. Bookmark this page or call us if you want a topic covered.

Ready When You Are

Reading is useful. Talking is faster.

Tell us about your 2026 project. We will give you an itemized estimate within one business day. No design fees, no pressure, no salespeople in the field.
